Kacy & Shanna Clamme, Chianina cattle, Hartford City, IN, are based in Blackford County and the Wabash Valley near Muncie. They have spent several years honing a breeding program that prioritizes genetic health through routine veterinary screenings and registry compliance.

Their calves are introduced to regular handling from an early age, promoting calm temperaments and ease of management.

Their stock has earned recognition at local agricultural fairs for balanced conformation and gentle disposition, reflecting the couple’s careful selection criteria. They work with a local nutritionist to tailor feed rations that meet the unique requirements of Chianina cattle throughout different life stages. They are committed to preserving the historic qualities of Chianina cattle, tracing back to their origins in Italy, while adapting them to the Indiana climate.
